How do I contact the shelter about Dobu?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierheim Schkortitz handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Dobu on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Dobu if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierheim Schkortitz will tell you what they need (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.

Is Dobu already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?

Most dogs on TailHarbor leave their shelter with sterilization, current vaccinations, microchip ID, and an EU pet passport included in the adoption fee. The vet status on this page reflects what the shelter has reported — ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.

What happens if Dobu isn't the right fit?

Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work — that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with Tierheim Schkortitz early rather than rehoming privately; they know Dobu and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.

Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?

TailHarbor translates shelter descriptions into English from the source language (DE). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.

Dobu

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 4 years

AmStaff Mix male dog Dobu was successfully rehomed on 30.01.2016 after fulfilling our conditions, thanks to our adoption assistance and without spending time in a shelter. Our thanks go to the new owner, who did not hesitate to take on the effort and costs, and to the previous owner, who raised him so well that he easily passed the behavioral assessment! AmStaff Mix male dog Dobu has been on trial at the new home since 18.11.2015! Due to family reasons I (previous owner) have to part with him unfortunately. Male dog, unneutered, 4 years old. Compatible with all kinds of animals. For example, he used to accompany riders on rides with other dogs. Lives in a pack of 5 dogs. Also compatible with male dogs, but these should not be aggressive or start fights. Loves water and playing with a ball. Has the usual Molosser thick skull, but is well trained. Walks without a leash and is always responsive. Commands like sit, stay, stay in place... However, he does not live in the house, he is a guard dog on our large property. Sleeps in the kennel and also barks at night if something happens. I wish for him people with consistency and understanding for this breed. And a life on the countryside. I will not give him to an apartment. Not necessarily suitable for small children as he is very rough when playing. The descriptions are impressions and recordings of the animal in our animal shelter and our foster homes. Each animal can develop differently in the new home.

Läuft ohne Leine, ist jederzeit abrufbar. Kommandos wie Sitz, platz, bleib sitzen… Lebt allerdings nicht in der Wohnung, ist Wachhund auf unserem großen Grundstück. Schläft im Zwinger und schlägt auch nachts an wenn was ist. Ich wünsche mir für ihn Leute mir Konsequenz und verstand für diese Rasse. Und ein leben auf dem Land. Werde ihn in keine stadtwohnung abgeben. Sollte nicht unbedingt zu kleinen Kindern da er sehr grob ist beim spielen.

About Dobu

What life with Dobu looks like

Dobu is a small adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierheim Schkortitz in Grimma.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. Two reasonable walks a day plus play time is usually enough. Plan a "decompression fortnight" — quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures — to let them settle.

🇩🇪Adopting from Germany

German rescues typically require an in-person home visit (Vorkontrolle) or detailed video home check before approving adoption. Animals leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with a valid EU pet passport. Adoption fees usually fall between €250 and €450, covering veterinary preparation.
